damn we have them at work, if i knew yesterday would of grabbed it. Just to clarify, what do you need a tap or a die?

Tap, is for cutting internal thread, ie a drilled hole, can be hard to pick up a thread internally if its cross threaded
Die, is for cutting external threads, or if you've threaded a bolt you can fix the thread by running a die over it.

So what is it exactly you need/ need to do? i'm a fitter and turner by trade so if you need a hand just pm me i'll try help in any way i can

Ended up waiting till tuesday and got a tap from trade tools and went to the wrecker to get a new bolt instead of buying a die.
All fixed now. :)

Thanks for your help!
